WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Did you hear that Gnarls Barkley are getting back together and releasing their final LP? You probably did. Well, if you heard and just want to listen to the new track from CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse, scroll down. If you didn’t hear the news, the album will be called ‘Atlanta’, and it’ll be out March 6th,…

Tom Jenkinson AKA Squarepusher is releasing a new record which will be his SIXTEENTH release – impressive stuff. Of course, you can hear a new song from it below to whet your whistle while you wait for the whole thing. The album is called ‘Kammerkonzert’ and is out on April 10th on Warp. While you may…

It can be a heavy thing carrying a famous name, and that’s what the Womack Sisters have to deal with, what with them being the nieces of the legendary Bobby, BG, Zeimani, and Kucha Womack respectively. The girls have signed to Daptone and have a new single out called ‘You Went Away Too Long’, which…
-
In 1984, legendary alternative pop show The Tube decided to go to Berlin to see what was happening. The Cold War was looming large and the hipsters were out en masse – some of them dressing up like the Gestapo and vicars, as well as the classic Goth Punk looks of the time. Muriel Gray…

It is so nice to hear some music that is influenced by psychedelic music, but doesn’t lean wholly on that fuzz pedals and drone stuff that most gravitate toward. We geddit. We like Suicide and the Velvets too. And so, to Eggs On Mars. They’ve decided that instead of black denim jackets and Chelsea boots,…

Low energy delivery and genre hopping between a twee take on Drill, and like, early Noughties indie pop? If you want to feel ancient, you might need to put Feng’s new album on. And no, we don’t really know what genre it is. See, this music sounds like something that young people get mega excited…

When Bad Bunny name-checked Willie Colón is his mega-hit ‘Nuevayol’, he knew exactly what he was doing – he was placing himself squarely next to one of Puerto Rico’s greatest sons. Born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, Colón recorded some of Fania Records most legendary and culturally significant records. Fusing salsa, jazz, funk,…

Samm Henshaw has been making something of a name for himself, getting support from the likes of James Bay, Chance the Rapper, and various Radio One DJs, and based on this song we stumbled across, it isn’t surprising really. We tripped over ‘Hair Down’ which is a super soulful number, that has that kinda choral…

When you’re in a band that’s done rather well out of sloganeering and hitting out at politicians and capitalist society and all that, it’s a bit rich when you suddenly start trying to heal the world by simply shrugging at everything, which is the position Jonny Greenwood seems to find himself in. Of course, Radiohead…

Denzel Curry has a new rap group and they’re going by the name The Scythe and honestly, it feels good to have a hip hop outfit doing the rounds after years and years of solo artistry – we need more collectives in rap music (and R&B too)! With that, they’ve shared a new track from…

KIM GORDON IS A MAN
Kim Gordon is cool and she’s making an unholy racket with her new single ‘I’m A Man’. If you’re looking for classic Sonic Youth, we don’t think you’re going to find it here – it reminds us a little of Atari Teenage Riot, in slo-mo. Lovely stuff. There’s going to be a new LP out…

LAMBRINI GIRLS GO FOR BRITAIN’S JUGULAR
Lambrini Girls are one of the most popular grot punk bands around right now, and they have a new single out called ‘God’s Country’ which goes after the state of the place we call home, and while it’s about as subtle as a brick in the teeth, you have to admire them for not hiding…

IRON MAIDEN VERSUS ASTHMA
Iron Maiden are funny aren’t they? They’re real ale metal. It’s all little England flirting with Satan rock ‘n’ roll. There’s a place for it, obviously, but did you know just how much lead singer Bruce Dickinson cares about asthma? Now, for the uninitiated, Brucie Baby is the kind of rock ‘n’ roller that a…

NEW WARPAINT IS GREAT!
Warpaint are ace. They’re psychedelic and groovy and don’t make any bad records. To celebrate 20 years together, they’ve put out a new song called ‘Common Blue’ which is as wonderful as ever. This is classic Warpaint, if you’re wondering and being a bit of a drag. Sidenote: Warpaint have the best drummer on the planet…
